How to Breed Cardinal Tetras Using a Breeding Box

Hi guys!
Welcome to this channel.
This video is about how to breed cardinal tetras by using a breeding box.
The key to successfully making the cardinal tetras spawn below 3 points:
1. Mature fish
2. Using different kinds of inducements: live food, water change, lighting change...
3. Patience.
Please check this video to know how I made the breeding box(breeder box)

1:17, Sorry, I need to make a correction regarding the breeding water. Simply letting the water sit for 3 days doesn't remove the chlorine. I've experienced fish deaths due to this mistake. Now, I only use chlorine-free stream water.

I like your aquarium you show at around 0:57. I really like the moss floor, it's inspired me.

All tetras fish prefer to spawn pre dawn and at sunrise or a little therer after. Also to hep induce spawning a week without water changes and just evaporation, and then a 50% water change with slightly cooler water all the while feeding live food will indice spawning. Wait till mid mornings to check for eggs on spawning mops.

very nice and informative video. Keep going! Can you share some details how you condition them. What do you feed them and how often in a day? For how long do you condition them before breeding? Thanks allot!

Why do you move the eggs? Couldn't you just put the heater and stuff into breeding tank?

Can I really use distilled water in breeding this beautiful fish? I dont have RO water..

[brandonsmith]

So they accept baby brine shrimp from the first day of free swimming?

I believe the half-life of chlorine in water is about 180 days so I don’t know if three days will dechlorinate it very much.
